toown to turn a modest young poet into an
impudent scribbler of " Pencilling,'" and
" Inklings" and sometimes makes a pe

When you present a nolo of introduction
to an English gentleman, ho looks at it
very hanl, and looks at your address very
hard, but if ho is satisfied of its being a true
bill, bo will honor r. with the most genuino
and profuse hospitality. The first thing jg
a dinner party, which is no trifling affair
either in trouble or expense. In r ranee,
it has been well said that a lady " can give
a splendid party on two lemons.' 1 But John
Bull roasts his beef, and mutton, and veni
son, and culls in his friends to the number
of a dozen, and brings out his choice wipe,
and makes a long, very long meal of it.
There are so many courses, so much form,
so much wine. bibbing, and such a trcmon
dous importance attached to the qualities
4fthe eatables and drinkables, that to a
niaiV who has not made a god of his belly,
thi j bountiful hospitality is somewhat weari
sorner As soon as the ladiei and her
Majesty's health are disposed of comes a
discussion of the Tariff, or Sir Robert's pol
icy, or the Corn Laws. . And politics ore
discuised in England in a way that shows
they aro not a mcro bagatelle affair as in
America. In our country politics are made
a jest. They are treated jocuiany in pn
vate.and iu the newspaper wo goto the
oils, perhaps in a mock procession ; make
sport of each other when there ; laugh
alike at victory, or defeat, and the man who
takes political jokes " earnest,' is apt to bo
considered rather a crabbed follow. In
England politics appear like nn afiair ol
life and death. They aro discussed with
KravitT. not merely because tho English
aro a graver people, and loyalty a grave
subject, but because tnerens an innorem
natural difference iif wealth, blood, and in
terests, between tho contending ranks of
Conservatism and Radicalism; and this
